With this extension of the API, view providers can indicate whether
document objects should be able to be toggled for visibility. There is
both a C++ and Python interface, idiomatic for FreeCAD code.
This adds isNullOrEmpty string helper that cheks if string is... well
null or empty. It is done to improve readability of the code and better
express intent.
* Improve naming for root scene graph switch/separator nodes.
* Improve scene graph inspector.
This commit improves the scene graph inspector by improving the UI
layout and displaying information in a more human-readable way.
Instead of having a main generic string column for all node-specific
data, introduce specific columns for node name, memory address and data.
Better visualization was also added for `SoDrawStyle`, `SoPickStyle`
and `SoCoordinate3` node types.
* ViewProvider::canDragAndDropObject should only return true if an extension handles drag and drop
Currently it returns true if no extension is available
* ViewProvider::dropObject shouldn't throw an exception if no extension handles drag and drop
As an example consider https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=82957
When selecting two objects then ViewProvider::dropObject is called twice. But for the first call both objects are moved to the destination
and for the second call no extension handles drag and drop any more. This incorrectly leads to a thrown exception.
* On lines where the variable type is obvious from inspection, avoid repeating the type using auto.
* When possible use a ranged for loop instead of begin() and end() iterators
===============================================
Before this implementation, specific status via former mergeOverlayIcon() was greyed out
with the visibility.
With this commit, the developer has two options:
a) override mergeGreyableOverlayIcons, in which case the overlay will
be greyed out when the item is greyed out as per former mergeOverlayIcon()
b) override mergeColorfulOverlayIcons, in which case the overlay will
be superimposed after the icon is greyed out as it is the case for stardard
error and recompute flags.
- Abort mode via ESCAPE added
BoxZoom, BoxSelection and BoxElementSelection
- Change the cursor to give the user feedback about active mode.
- Abort mode via ESCAPE
Previously, box style selection is rendered using customized
SoBoxSelectionRenderAction, which does not support selection context,
i.e. it does not work with Link.
This patch implements context aware bound box rendering inside
SoFCSelectionRoot, SoFCSelection and SoFCPathAnnotation (for always on
top rendering). The box rendering in SoBoxSelectionRenderAction is
disabled on construction. Box style selection can be enabled for
individual object through property SelectionStyle (moved from
ViewProviderGeometryObject to ViewProviderDocumentObject), or globally
through Parameter BaseApp/Preferences/View/ShowSelectionBoundingBox.
In addition, the parameter BaseApp/Preferences/View/UseNewSelection is
used to override selection model reported from
ViewProvider::useNewSelectionModel(). The reason being that, the same
parameter is already used to toggle selection model inside
SoFCSelection. This avoids inconsistency of selection model choice
between view provider and the SoFCSelection node inside. Note that if
the parameter 'UseNewSelection' is set to false, those view providers
that choose old selection model will not work with Link.
The link support means that an object can now appear in more than one
places, and even inside a document different from its own. This patch
adds support for in-place editing, meaning that the object can be edited
at correct place regardless where it is.
See [here](https://git.io/fjPIk) for more info about the relavent APIs.
This patch includes two example of modifications to support in-place
editing. One is the ViewProviderDragger, which simply adds the dragger
node to editing root node by calling
View3DInventorViewer::setupEditingRoot(dragger). The other much more
complex one is ViewProviderSketch which calls setupEditingRoot(0) to
transfer all its children node into editing root. ViewProviderSketch
also includes various modifications to command invocation, because we
can no longer assume the active document is the owner of the editing
object.
This patch also includes necessary modification of the 'Show' module to
support in-place editing.
See bug description:

Because of path based rendering (SoFCPathAnnotation) in mouse over
highlight, this bug causes crash more frequently here comparing to
upstream.
All C++ calling of SoGroup::removeAllChildren() is replaced by
Gui::coinRemoveAllChildren(), and python code is fixed by monkey
patching SoGroup.removeAllChildren() in FreeCADGuiInit.py.
